Stephen Peerman reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"Attended the ‘Mig Welding for Beginners Introductory Day Course’ today, what a pleasure. Despite numerous hours watching online You Tube videos; it is not until the theory is put in to practice that the MIG process very quickly becomes less daunting. Tony with years of experience in both welding and teaching very quickly gets the novice up and running. I would estimate that over the day 2% is demonstration by Tony and the other 98% is ‘hands-on’ by the student. At the end of the day, which passes very quickly, I felt ready to invest in my own MIG and confident that I would be able to weld to an acceptable standard, albeit not as neat as Tony’s. Thank you for your time and advice, a worthwhile course. "

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Thank you Stephen for your very kind review it is much appreciated . I am extremely pleased that you enjoyed your time with me on the welding course and gained the confidence to move forward and purchase your own welding equipment. Please keep me updated and feel free to contact me in the future with any questions or advice . Regards Tony "

Patrick P reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"I had a welding course with Tony today and couldn’t have asked for more, he covered the essentials then quickly got me started on my first MIG welds. The pace of the session was perfect and allowed me to progress at a decent rate. I was also given a lot of practical advice on which equipment to look for as I’ll be buying my own welding kit very soon. I’d recommend Tony’s training day to anyone looking to have a go at welding or starting the journey into high quality fabrication."

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Thank you Patrick for the review it is greatly appreciated. You have the ability to continue developing your skills welding with practice and I look forward to hearing from you in the future with updates on your metal fabrication project’s.. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further assistance. Regards Tony "

Mike R reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"A great days training with Tony. Very relaxed. Great instruction and company throughout the session! Patience of a saint from my "Mig Blobbing" to far better welds at the end of the day. Different metal thickness welding and setups. Horizontal Flat overlap. Internal and external edge welds at 90 both horizontal and vertical welds. Plus many other tips and instruction. Feel confident I can make a strong weld but just need more practice in my own time to make "Pretty Welds". Thanks again Tony. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Highly recommend to anyone starting out or who wants to take it to a next level "

"Hi Mike thank you for your kind review, it was a pleasure meeting you.

David reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"John is an excellent teacher, you can tell he has taught welding at the local tech and now teaches alongside his own metal work artistry. I was a complete beginner and he went through everything from welding masks to how the welding machines work. He went at my pace with a positive easy style which gave me confidence. Then we adapted the time to do stick welding on his and my old machine. So now I know it works and what to do with it. Thoroughly recommend."

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Hi David my name is Tony not John Lol 😂 . Thank you for the fantastic feedback I am very happy that you enjoyed the course and took away the confidence to keep practicing at your own workshop . If you need help or any advice in the future please feel free to contact me. Regards Tony. "

Cormac reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"A fantastic day with Tony! He provided a very well structured course with a well tailored learning curve. All risk felt well mitigated creating a lovely learning environment and he clearly has a wealth of experience and knowledge that is imparted effortlessly. The one on one method is excellent and well worth it, meaning every single move I made was able to be assessed and constructively criticised to progress quickly. I feel very confident after this course in both method and setup. I am now very keen to develop my welding further. Well recommended!"

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Hi Cormac Thank you for your kind words, it was an absolute pleasure teaching you. I have no doubt that you will continue developing your skills and knowledge further to achieve your objectives . If I can be of any further assistance in future please don’t hesitate to contact me. Regards Tony "

"Wow!!! What a great day with Tony. He really knows his stuff and took me from a complete MIG welding novice to someone who was able to start hobby welding at home.

Nigel reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"I really enjoyed myself on the one-day welding course. Tony is a great teacher and he has a special knack for teaching which makes it both fun and highly enjoyable. This also speeds up the learning process so we covered a lot of ground during the day and I came away very confident I had acquired the necessary skills to do all the basics in Mig welding including vertical welding both up and down. I can't recommend this course highly enough if you want to learn a lot in a short space of time and enjoy doing it. The other big thing is you can normally book right away without waiting weeks or months so for me I was able to book the next day. I will be recommending this to friends and associates. Thank you Tony for a great day and a brilliant experience."

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Thank you Nigel for a wonderful review. I really enjoyed meeting you and spending the day in your company. I am pleased you enjoyed the day and took away the knowledge needed to help you move forward with your welding skills. If you require any further assistance in the future please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your custom it is very much appreciated. Regards Tony "

"Excellent one on one course. I was a beginner and now feel confident to carry on practising on my own. Tony very thorough, and told how to not do it like the Americans on YouTube! I learnt the lingo and how to load the the mig machine and plenty of useful tips. Tony also makes a fine cup of tea."

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Thank you Duncan for a great review. It’s great you have the confidence to get your own welding set to keep practicing and further develop your skill welding. If I can be any assistance in the future please feel free to contact me. Regards Tony "

Nigel Reynolds reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"Excellent day with Tony. Real bonus that it was 1 to 1. We went through the equipment and how to set it up and the required settings. We did elementary torch control and step by step up to welding various types of joint. Tony was very patient and extremely good at coaching through the day. By the end of the day I could weld to a point that I could set my own machine and weld. From this point I can practice to become better. I will recommend Tony to anyone who wants to learn welding."

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Thank you Nigel for your great feedback, It was a pleasure teaching you and seeing how quickly your abilities developed throughout the course of the day. I am pleased that your new skills will be put to use on your future projects that you may have planned. Best wishes Tony"

Ken Bone reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"I had a great day on Tony’s 1:1 MIG welding course. He has a wealth of experience to impart and is a very personable and patient tutor. As a novice, I left wanting to weld scrap metal together at the first opportunity. The course was conducted in a clean, tidy and well organised environment and was well worth the course fee. I won’t hesitate to go back for more tuition if my skills need further refinement."

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Thank you Ken for the great feedback, I am so happy you enjoyed it and the course has given you the welding bug to create things from metal with the new skills that you have gained. All the best Tony. "
